  • Canada's Resource Curse: Too Much of a Good Thing Daniel Drache
    ______________________________________________________________________________ Canada’s Resource Curse: Too Much of a Good Thing Daniel Drache Professor, Department of Political Science and Associate Director of the Robarts Centre for Canadian Studies, York University, [email protected] Canada’s Resource Curse: Too Much of a Good Thing Daniel Drache1 Professor, Department of Political Science and Associate Director of the Robarts Centre for Canadian Studies, York University, [email protected] Abstract Canada has been both blessed and cursed by its vast resource wealth. Immense resource riches sends the wrong message to the political class that thinking and planning for tomorrow is unnecessary when record high global prices drive economic development at a frenetic pace. Short-termism, the loss of manufacturing competitiveness (‘the dutch disease’) and long term rent seeking behaviour from the corporate sector become, by default, the low policy standard. The paper contends that Canada is not a simple offshoot of Anglo-American, hyper-commercial capitalism but is subject to the recurring dynamics of social Canada and for this reason the Northern market model of capitalism needs its own theoretical articulation. Its distinguishing characteristic is that there is a large and growing role for mixed goods and non-negotiable goods in comparison to the United States even when the proactive role of the Canadian state had its wings clipped to a degree that stunned many observers. The paper also examines the uncoupling of Canadian and American economies driven in part by the global resource boom. The downside of the new staples export strategy is that hundreds of thousands of jobs have disappeared from Ontario and Quebec.

  • Ministerial Error and the Political Process: Is There a Duty to Resign? Stuart James Whitley
    Ministerial Error and the Political Process: Is there a Duty to Resign? Stuart James Whitley, QC* In practice, it is seldom very hard to do one’s duty when one knows what it is. But it is sometimes exceedingly difficult to find this out. - Samuel Butler (1912) “First Principles” Note Books The honourable leader is engaged continuously in the searching of his (sic) duty. Because he is practicing the most powerful and most dangerous of the arts affecting, however humbly, the quality of life and the human search for meaning, he ought to have – if honourable, he has to have – an obsession with duty. What are his responsibilities? -Christopher Hodgkinson (1983) The Philosophy of Leadership Abstract: This article examines the nature of the duty to resign for error in the ministerial function. It examines the question of resignation as a democratic safeguard and a reflection of a sense of honour among those who govern. It concludes that there is a duty to resign for misleading Parliament, for serious personal misbehaviour, for a breach of collective responsibility, for serious mismanagement of the department for which they are responsible, and for violations of the rule of law. The obligation is owed generally to Parliament, and specifically to the Prime Minister, who has the constitutional authority in any event to dismiss a minister. The nature of the obligation is a constitutional convention, which can only be enforced by political action, though a breach of the rule of law is reviewable in the courts and may effectively disable a minister. There appears to be uneven historical support for the notion that ministerial responsibility includes the duty to resign for the errors of officials except in very narrow circumstances.

    UNIVERSITY OF REGINA ARCHIVES AND SPECIAL COLLECTIONS THE DR JOHN ARCHER LIBRARY 89-78 WALTER STEWART By SHELLEY SWEENEY, WITH ASSISTANCE FROM MICHELLE GILLANDER AND LAURA RATHGABER JANUARY 1991 REVISED APRIL 2009 By ELIZABETH SEITZ 89-78 WALTER STEWART 2 / 20 BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE Walter Stewart is an investigative journalist and writer par excellence. He has the inquisitive mind, the blunt honesty, and more particularly, the nose that makes for a good reporter, in every sense of the word. His love of the search for some kind of truth has led him to delve into a diverse number of subjects: the high price of food, Crown Corporations, the history of the Loyalists in Canada, the Pickering Airport fiasco, Trudeau. In all, he has written eleven books, ghostwritten at least two,and edited a book on Canadian newspapers. He has worked for the Toronto Telegram, the Star Weekly magazine, Maclean's, the Toronto Star, the FP News Service in Ottawa, the Today Magazine in Toronto, The Toronto Sun, and Policy Options magazine, in a variety of capacities. In addition to his investigative and historical writing, Stewart was Director of the School of Journalism at King's College, Halifax for two years, and Max Bell Professor at the University of Regina. He has lectured frequently, and appeared on radio and television. Stewart, however, is not simply all work and no play. One only has to read his "Bosky Dell" columns for the Toronto Sun, or his murder mystery Right Church, Wrong Pew, to appreciate his lighter side. His correspondence can be quite hilarious and even his serious writing is never without a leavening of humour.

  • Falconer Thirstan
    Governing the “Government Party”: Liberal Party of Canada Leadership Conventions of 1948, 1958 and 1968 by Thirstan Falconer A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in History Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2012 © Thirstan Falconer 2012 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is the true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract During the twentieth century, as Canadian voters began to associate the brand of their major political parties with the characteristics of their leaders, the Liberal Party of Canada’s leadership races evolved into events of national importance. This study examines this transformation through the 1948, 1958 and 1968 leadership conventions. It incorporates perspectives from inside the Liberal Party as well as the Canadian media’s portrayals of the conventions. This thesis explores the alternating pattern of anglophone and francophone Party leaders, the complications associated with the predictability of the outcome, the evolution of convention tactics to recruit delegate support, Party (dis)unity throughout the contests, and the political science theories that deconstruct the conventions and predict outcomes. It also details how, over time, the political ambitions of senior-ranking members trumped the interests the Liberal Party. iii Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to thank my advisor, Dr. Whitney Lackenbauer, for expressing enthusiasm from the outset of this topic. He offered continuous encouragement and advice throughout this project.

  • Ndp Hits the Jack-Pot in Quebec: from Decades of Work to Overnight Success
    NDP HITS THE JACK-POT IN QUEBEC: FROM DECADES OF WORK TO OVERNIGHT SUCCESS Derek Leebosh The NDP sweep of Quebec was surprising only for its speed and magnitude. It was the culmination of a series of serious attempts to appeal to Quebec over the past 40 years. In the 1960s with Robert Cliche and again in the 1980s with Ed Broadbent, the party came closer than most people realize to making a breakthrough in Quebec. Once polarization over the “national question” faded, the social democratic values of Quebecers set the stage for the NDP to fill the vacuum. Le balayage du NPD au Québec ne doit surprendre que par son ampleur et sa soudaineté. Car il résulte d’une série d’importantes tentatives échelonnées sur un demi-siècle en vue de séduire l’électorat de cette province. Dès les années 1960, avec Robert Cliche, puis à nouveau dans les années 1980, cette fois avec Ed Broadbent, le NPD est venu beaucoup plus près qu’on le croit généralement d’y réaliser une percée. Une fois amoindrie la polarisation suscitée par la « question nationale », il s’était ainsi créé un vide politique que les valeurs sociales-démocrates des Québécois ont permis au NPD de combler. ate on the night of May 2 as election results from across pen. The social and cultural values of most Quebecers and their Canada poured in, veteran observers of the Canadian views on most public policy issues have long been in sync with L political scene were greeted with two sights most proba- the NDP’s social democratic ideology and postmodern stances bly never expected to see in their lifetimes.
